Chapter 9 — I Don't Cancel the Marriage, I Cut My Losses

The manager of the Chu family stood blocking the door.

"Patient is not in good health, no visitors."

I looked at him.

"I didn't come to visit the sick."

I raised the documents in my hand.

"I came to collect evidence."

The Zhou family manager's face immediately darkened.

"Miss Tang, you have no right to investigate."

I nodded slightly.

"So I brought a notary and a lawyer."

I stepped aside. The media's lenses immediately pointed straight at the manager. His forehead began to sweat. Just as the two sides were still struggling... The old man in the wheelchair suddenly raised his head. As soon as he saw me... Fear immediately appeared in those cloudy eyes.

"Are you... Miss Qin's daughter?"

I walked in front of him. The old man's lips trembled.

"I don't want to hurt her."

"I only take money to drive."

"I didn't know they were going to touch the brakes."

The Zhou family manager's face immediately changed.

"Uncle Trieu!"

"You're confused!"

But the old man seemed not to hear. He grabbed my sleeve tightly.

"I... I kept something back."

"I'm afraid they'll kill me."

"Should have left a memory card."

I squatted down.

"Where is it?"

The old man gasped.

"Under... the cushion of the wheelchair."

The manager of the Chu family immediately turned around and tried to rob him. But Giang Nghien stopped him. The notary immediately removed the wheelchair cushion. Inside is sewn a small plastic bag hidden. In the bag... Is an old memory card. Ten minutes later. Remaining data from the dash cam is restored. The image is very blurry. But it can still be seen... The night before the accident, someone opened the hood of my mother's car. That person was wearing a dark suit. Only half of the profile face is revealed. I recognized it immediately. Tang Hoai Tu. I stared at the video for a long time. My mother did not suddenly leave this world. She was stopped... Right before the night when she was about to expose the whole truth. That night... Tang Hoai Tu was taken to testify. The news just spread. There were even more reporters in front of the Tang family's gate than in the morning. Old lady Tang called me more than ten phone calls. I didn't listen to any calls. Finally... She herself found Tan Thi. She sat on the sofa in the large lobby. The walking stick is placed horizontally on the knee. In just one day... It seemed like she had aged ten years. After the receptionist asked for advice, I agreed to let someone take her to the meeting room. As soon as she saw me... Tears fell from her eyes.

"Tri Van..."

"Your father is just confused."

I sat down opposite her.

"Tang Hoai Tu is not my father."

Her voice stopped.

"After all, he raised me for thirteen years."

I didn't reply. She continued:

"Even if it's wrong..."

"Then everyone else in the Tang family is innocent."

"If the Tang family collapses..."

"What should my sister do?"

"What face will he have when he meets someone else in the future?"

I looked at her.

"When something happened to my mother..."

"Why don't you think about how I will live in the future?"

Old lady Tang choked. I took out a file. Announced severance of relations. She stared at the documents. Fingertips tremble.

"Do you really want to go to this extent?"

I put the pen down in front of her.

"This is just correcting the truth."

She shook her head, refusing to sign.

"I didn't sign."

"My name is still in the Tang family's household registration book."

"As long as I don't agree..."

"I'm still family Tang family."

I calmly said:

"Application for transfer of household registration..."

"It's been submitted."

Her expression immediately changed.

"Qin Thi will in turn recover all of the misappropriated guardianship money, the trust fund's assets, and the house in Thanh Nam."

"The house in Tang Ngung's name will also be blocked by the court."

Old lady Tang immediately panicked.

"That's Ngung Ngung's wedding house!"

I looked at her.

"That's my mother's house."

She slammed on the table.

"Things left behind by the dead..."

"Is it okay to let living people use it?"

The entire meeting room suddenly fell silent. Even old lady Tang was stunned. Because she had just accidentally spoken her true thoughts. I looked at her.

"Finally..."

"She also told the truth."

Her lips trembled. I took back the statement of severance of relations.

"If you don't sign..."

"So just follow the legal process."

I stood up. She frantically grabbed my hand.

"Tri Van..."

"I can't treat her like that."

"When I was little, I had a fever..."

"You told someone to take you to the hospital."

I stopped. I still remember that fever. Thirty-nine degrees. The Tang family's driver took me to the hospital. After returning home... Mrs. Tang told the housekeeper to deduct all hospital fees from my Education Fund. I was young then. I thought... That was concern. Only later did I find out... The Tang family never spent even a penny to raise me.
